Robert G Allen Photography takes delivery of the Nikon Z8 mirrorless full frame camera (again)

Nikon Z8
Written By Robert G Allen Photography

I took advantage of the recent special that B&H photo had on some of their Nikon equipment during their 2024 holiday sale that offered 24 month interest free financing when using their Payboo credit card. I had the Z8 for awhile but sold it too soon. I really missed this camera and I’m glad it’s part of my gear again.

Today, Robert G Allen Photography takes delivery of the Nikon Z50II and the NIKKOR Z DX 18-140mm f/3.5-6.3 VR lens with Sample Photos

Today, I received the latest Nikon camera release, The Z50II along with the DX lens 18-140mm f/3.5-6.3.

I had a chance to use this combination shortly after delivery as I provide event photography coverage for a major local holiday event.

Since I no longer use any Adobe products (due to the AI mess they have created resulting in fake photos everywhere), and Capture One has yet to support the Z50II, I had to use Adobe’s DNG converter (cough, cough…) to convert the NEF files into DNG files in order to use Capture One to process the photos.
